Rocksmith discussion thread - New real guitar game.

1000/1000 is impressive to me on any game, but especially one that uses a real guitar. Great work!

The Mississippi band make their Rocksmith debut with two tracks off their debut studio album The Better Life, “Loser” and “Kryptonite,” and “When I’m Gone” off their second album Away From The Sun.

Nice!

Nice, I'm in for Loser and maybe Kryptonite. Never really cared much for When I'm Gone, though.

Maybe they could call it "RockGod" or "RockLegend" or "RockMaster" or "RockBeast".

Or go the Mortal Kombat route can call it Rocksmyth.

If Rocksmith's a hit in Japan, maybe they'll make some J-Rock DLC? I can always dream, can't I?

*wishes for that song from Haruhi*

Has anyone used the real tone cable that comes with Rocksmith to record their guitar on their PC/Mac? I'm really interested in recording stuff (though I don't know much about recording at the moment) and this cable sounds like a great and inexpensive way to get a decent recording. I'm waiting for the PC version so I can play the game and have the cable but I might go out and buy the cable before as the PC version just keeps getting delayed.

Functionally, it won't be much different than getting a 1/4 -> 1/8 adapter and plugging it into your computer's microphone port. I've tried another brand of 1/4 to USB adapter with Audacity and it worked just fine. Others have tried the Rocksmith cable and indicated it worked as expected.

Actually it "should" be different, guitar plugs are high impedance interfaces, so plugging them into normal jacks creates a filter effect killing tone ...

To actually record stuff and used a pc modeller you're going to have to find an asio driver for it if you want low latency in windows. Otherwise you can go the linux route using a live distro such as AVLinux (no installation required) and using jack and guitarix.

If you want something a little better get a usb recording device from m-audio, tascam, esi, lexicon or focusrite. Make sure they are usb 2 compliant and can handle at least 24 bit at 48 khz.

Thanks for the replies guys. Well here's what I was thinking: I would use the Rocksmith real tone cable to plug my guitar to the usb port of my PC. Then I would use a program like AmpliTube (or wait for the PC version of Rocksmith) to have a digital amp. From there I could record whatever I play through audacity or off my sound card. I'm sure they'll be amateur recordings but it's a start. I'm tired of the "Real Sound Engine" sounds from Guitar Pro. They're decent and better than MIDI, but obviously too robotic (Player Guitar lol)

Here's an explanation of how to use the tone cable with a live linux distro for audio work.

If I were you I'd try that solution out. Today I pulled out my behringer UCG102 which is a cheap and nasty usb guitar interface (probably same quality of the rocksmith one), but with guitarix it sounded truly GREAT. That program sounds amazing and you can get some great free presets for it. It sounds way better than the commercial stuff from NI that came with the Behringer.
